Traditional and Contemporary Tin Work

I've lived in New Mexico all my life and I've always enjoyed doing some kind of art. I find doing tin work and wood carving great for relaxation. Every piece of art that I work on is different and that's because it's handmade, it doesn't matter if it's the same pattern being used. Each piece will be punched or carved different and that's what I love about it. When a piece of my work of art sells I find pleasure in knowing that someone is enjoying it as much as I enjoyed making it and that it has found a home where it is appreciated. I took classes at NNMC in Colonial Spanish Furniture and Tin Smithing, where I learned from the very best in how to make furniture/carving and working with tin.
